THE LEGACY PROJECT COLLABORATIVE

About El Toro

THE COLLABORATIVE

The Legacy Project Collaborative is Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Jacques Garnier, Rob Johnson, Douglas McCulloh, and Clayton Spada. The six artists began working in 2002 at a giant, closed military base in southern California—the 4,800-acre Marine Corps Air Station El Toro. Granted extraordinary access to the sprawling base, the six artists have shaped a project of rare scope and significance. Projects include transforming a military jet hangar into the largest camera ever made to produce the world’s largest photograph. To date, the group has made some 150,000 images, an art-historical document on a scale seldom seen. Work from the collaborative project has been shown in more than 35 national and international exhibitions.
